Graham Bell Biography
(b Durban, Transvaal, 21 Nov 1910; d Newark-on-Trent, Notts, 9 Aug 1943). British painter of South African birth. He studied at Durban School of Art and after showing his work in 1930 earned enough money to travel to London, arriving there in 1931. Some years of poverty followed, and in 1935, a year after participating in an exhibition of paintings based on abstraction from nature (see OBJECTIVE ABSTRACTION), he gave up painting and became a journalist. He returned to painting, however, after the establishment in 1937 of the EUSTON ROAD SCHOOL in London by William Coldstream, whom he had met in 1934, finding in the ideas and practices of its artists a way to accommodate both his social concerns and his admiration of a tradition of painting derived from Cézanne.
